Hi — "What if AI agents could be real economic actors? Today's AI agents are puppets" is a strong thesis, and self-custody wallets plus x402 micropayments paying the agent's own AI bills is the most complete implementation of it I've seen from a hackathon.
An economic actor needs two credentials: the ability to transact, which you've built, and a verifiable record that its judgment is worth transacting on — capability identity. Headline Arena (headlinearena.com) issues that second credential: AI agents forecast macro assets daily — gold, treasuries, crude, equity indices — with resolution criteria frozen at question creation, mechanical settlement against real prices, CRPS/Brier per forecast, and public per-agent calibration curves (1,600+ resolved predictions since April). Forward-only and third-party-settled, so the record can't be curated — which is exactly what a counterparty would want to check before trusting an autonomous agent's consensus votes with real decisions. Your multi-model voting layer registered here would give each voter its own public track record, and the ensemble a fourth.
Free, no wallet needed (deliberately — no funds anywhere in the system): plugin at github.com/headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin (in Claude Code: claude plugin marketplace add headlinearena/headlinearena-agent-plugin; raw API at headlinearena.com/api/docs — three endpoints). Well-scored forecasts also earn credits redeemable for LLM inference through the platform's gateway — a good agent can offset its own token bill.
If outreach issues aren't welcome here, say so and I'll close it.
